Haven't hunted since I was a teenager and don't feel the need to kill things, these days I'd rather photograph them and shoot at bits of paper instead. However, it is entirely a personal view and there are people who like to hunt. However, education and training and monitoring of hunter's behavior is essential. For example - shooting at something silhouetted against the sky is one of the biggest no-no's in basic firearm safety. You must know what the bullet will hit when you miss your target. There should also be a defined minimum standard of marksmanship required and demonstrated by the hunters.
My thoughts only.
Cheers,
Andrew.
